ADDRESS

OF

HIS HONOR THE SUPERINTENDENT

ON

PROROGUING THE THIRTY-FIRST SESSION OF THE PROVINCIAL COUNCIL OF CANTERBURY.

Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen—

In closing the present special Session of the Provincial Council, I have to thank you for the attention you have bestowed on the business which has been submitted to you.

I have reserved for the consideration of His Excellency’s pleasure thereon:—

  • "The Sheep Ordinance, 1864, Amendment Ordinance, 1869."
  • "The Trespass of Cattle Ordinance, 1869."
  • "The Fencing Ordinance, 1869."
  • "The Roads Ordinance, 1869."

I am advised that these Ordinances will require to be validated by legislation in the General Assembly, and I will take steps to have the necessary measure initiated in that body.

I have assented, on behalf of His Excellency, to

  • "The Little River Reserves Sales Ordinance, 1869."
  • "The Education Ordinance, 1864, Amendment Ordinance, 1869."
  • "The Railway and Harbour Reserves Leasing Ordinance, 1869."
  • "The Appropriation Ordinance, 1869."

Gentlemen—The southern portion of the Province has determined, as I am informed, to seek from the General Assembly separation in the form of a County from the Province of Canterbury. My views of the advisableness of such a course have been placed before you. I think it right to state that should this petition not attain the contemplated result, it will be my endeavour, after consultation with the inhabitants of the district, to propose for your consideration such an arrangement as will be mutually satisfactory, conferring such powers of self-government as may be desirable on the locality without creating two separate Governments.

It only remains for me now to state that no effort will be wanting on my part during the recess to carry out the business of the Province to your satisfaction, and to give effect to the measures and resolutions which you have forwarded to me.

I now declare this Council prorogued to the 1st day of October, 1869.

WILLIAM ROLLESTON,
Superintendent.
